Answer:

Explanation:

(A)length of a stamp=1/5foot

wide of a stamp=1/4foot

area of the stamp=?

area of the stamp=length of a stamp *wide of a stamp

=1/5*1/4

=1/20square foot

(B)an area of the room=1/4 square meter

width of the room=1/5meter

length of the room=?

an area of the room=width of the room*length of the room

1/4 =1/5 * length of the room

1/4 = length of the room/5

5/4 =length of the room

length of the room =5/4=1 1/4

(C)the area of the canvas=1/5square yard

width of the canvas=1/4 yard

length of the canvas=?

an area of the canvas=width of the canvas*length of the canvas

1/5 = width of the canvas*1/4

1/5 = width of the canvas/4

4/5 =width of the canvas

width of the canvas= 4/5

(D)length of the rectangular course=1/5mile

area of the rectangular course=1/4square mile

width of the rectangular course=?

an area of the rectangular course

=

width of the rectangular course*length of the rectangular course

1/4 =width of the rectangular course*1/5

1/4 =width of the rectangular course/5

5/4 =width of the rectangular course

width of the rectangular course=5/4

The answer is C. Why? Well, see below!

A would be incorrect because the problem is asking what the area of the stamp would be. In order to find area, we multiply length and width by each other. The given equation we initially had shows division, and would therefore be incorrect. B would be incorrect because although the equation has the correct evaluation symbol, the formula for identifying length would be L = A / W, which means length equals area divided by width. Because the area is 1/4 in this problem, the expression used for evaluation would be 1/4 divided by 1/5. D is incorrect because, like B, the evaluation expression would be 1/4 divided by 1/5.

Your final answer: Because C is the only problem that gives us a corresponding expression to the initial expression, C is the correct answer. If you need extra help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
